The text opens with introductory discussions of why and how psychologists conduct and analyze research, walks students through the basics of using statistics, and concludes with the "nuts and bolts" of research methods and statistical analysis. Each chapter contains frequent Stop and Think questions and innovative Thinking About Research exercises to encourage students to consider how to apply these principles to their own research questions. Designed specifically for ease of use in combined statistics and research methods courses, this text is a one stop shop for undergraduate students in psychology.
